Nobody's really looking at tomorrow with any optimism, so:
1. We're still NOT respecting the customer,
2. We're NOT taking any STRATEGIC steps to protect ourselves from the legal dangers -- (as I discuss in the article), and...
3. We're still NOT really working TOGETHER as players -- a standardized platform for sharing customer data BETWEEN programs is just one idea, but there are many ways for us to cooperate better.
We have to make a decision, people:
Are we gonna do down in history like Moonshiners, who made a quick buck playing demand against legality, then disappeared?
Or, are we going to impress the entire business world with our intelligence, our understanding of the medium, our capacity to innovate and invent and our indefatigable spirit?
I know which way I'm pushing...

J,
I couldn't agree with you more. I am by no means a veteran in this business but with my limited expereince I can already see all the things you have pointed out.
I don't think people are taking this article and the message it brings as seriously as they should. Its very important stuff and if you people are really looking you will see that certain people AFF and LL have been making strategic moves to be here in a big way for the long term. I am now understanding more than before the real benefits and strength that this merger will provide. I think this shit is as serious as a heart attack but people keep disregarding the doctors orders. Sooner or later we will all have to pay the piper.
I am not the person that should be starting a union or some other governing body but I would be in full support of cleaning up the industry. It is amazing to see thread after thread of scammer posts and bullshit. I know that GFY is a relaxed but still......
